Fun and chilled day out - A fun and interesting day out from Bocas Del Toro - the crew were helpful, informative and pretty chilled. We got lucky with the weather - not sure it would have been anywhere near the same if it had been raining.

Nice staff - Was a great day, in spite of uncooperative weather. Guides were friendly and it was as advertised. The ride can be bumpy, but we would recommend

Postcards Caribbean - A beautiful experience. Dolphins and sloths are of course not guaranteed, but just the drive and also the island in the nature reserve are an experience. The trips can be booked on site for as little as 30 euros plus 10 euros admission to the nature reserve. Agree to leave sooner or later than most of the boats, otherwise the dolphin hunt and snorkeling will take place with too many boats.

Extensive tour with a good impression of the different islands of the Bocas del Toro - Very interesting yet relaxed tour, very convenient for people who are only there for a few days. First we went out by boat to see dolphins, we didn't see many of them and there were some other boats there to do exactly the same but it was still nice. After that we drove through the canals and even saw 4 or 5 three-fingered sloths up close and moving. This part was probably my highlight of the tour. Afterwards we went to a restaurant to pre-order food, which we then eat later. Then we had a 1 1/2 hour stay on the beach of Isla Bastimentos after we went back to the restaurant to eat the food. Finally we went out to snorkel again, we didn't see special marine animals there but it was still nice. All in all a recommended tour for people who want to have an overall impression of the Bocas in a rather short period of time.

Would not recommend - Rushed, lots of: do this, do that. Little English explanations. Too many people in each boat, too crowded. Guides not very nice. Wrong amount of time for different activities. Lunch situation was awful. Screaming people's names when food was ready. People received food at different times. Very long wait for food then it was time to go. I enjoyed the snorkeling but that was rushed.

Nice day despite weather. - Overall experience was disappointing, only because of weather. What was supposed to be partial sun and cloud, ended up as full cloud and torrential downpours all day. That being said, our crew was friendly and did a great job of driving in rough water and explaining local animals and sites as we toured through mangroves. Zapatilla is beautiful, but because of rough water, went to second island where there is a dock. Think the first island is the one you see in the pictures which would have been nice to see. Snorkeling was good.

Lunch is NOT included - The overview says, "Lunch included"; that is a blatant miscommunication. A lunch stop is included, but the price of lunch is not. Many people on this tour complained about being misled.

Failed us - It was raining so I messaged the tour operator and asked if it was still going as it said it was weather dependent. I never hit a message back so our group of 3 missed the tour and got no message about a refund
